At our meeting last night, we had a short debrief of the Craft Fair. We ran out of time and several members feel they were short-changed so we'll have to set more time aside later. Every year we have this process and every year we hear the same comments. However, there are always some important issues among the dross, so it's a worthwhile exercise.
There are always some funny stories, too and this year was no exception. Like, the one about the duck, followed by a string of ducklings, which tried to cross the road at the peak of traffic congestion. Tim, the lollipop man, stopped all traffic and ushered the ducks safely across, even helping the ducklings traverse the high kerb on the other side.
One of the best stories is about the local radio which we play over the PA system. For some reason, the programs arranged for Sunday afternoon and Monday morning were totally inappropriate. I know that some people might like nostalgic replays of old British comedy songs, but not at the Craft Fair. The icing on the cake was when the RSL Pipe Band were preparing for their performance and Andy Stewart bellowed over the PA, 'Donald, Where's your Troosers?'
You couldn't script it.
